Brewers reliever will undergo lat surgery, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. The procedure comes with a 9-10 month recovery timeline, so itll end his season. Bukauskas was in camp as a non-roster invitee after Milwaukee outrighted him off the 40-man last month. The 28-year-old righty spent most of last season on the 60-day injured list. He to sed six innings of one- Wade Davis Jersey run ball. A lat injury sent him to the IL in the middle of April and wound up being a season ender. That unfortunately flared up yet again in camp and will cost him the entire 25 campaign. A 2017 first-round pick, Bukauskas has made 33 major league appearances between three teams. He has a 5.04 earned run average over 30 1/3 innings. He has gotten grounders on an impre sive 53.2% of batted balls, but injuries have prevented him from carving out a consistent bullpen role. Within the past few years, Bukauskas has lost time to an elbow strain, a teres major (shoulder) injury, and multiple significant lat i sues. Since he is not on the 40-man roster, Bukauskas will spend the year on the minor league IL. Hell qualify for minor league free agency next winter, when hell hopefully get healthy and look to catch on somewhere with a non-roster Spring Training invite. Nate Eaton Jersey |
